There's a woman and kid in those pictures? Nice US! I love a US with a white base - They just look so clean!

A slap on the hand for not adding retracts though

And my condolences... I'm married to a redhead too!

Thanks for the compliments!  I love my US.

My Feedback: (1)

OH, and I'd love to have retracts.  Sadly, when this was built (over 16 years ago), the budget was tight.  I WILL build one someday with retracts.

Are there any OS 91 four-strokes powering any US's out there? What are the reviews; if any? I know this is a 2stroke nose but I am curious... thank you.

MinnFlyer

My Feedback: (4)

I built one with a 4-stroke once. And although I'm a 4-stroke junkie, I preferred the 2-stroke's performance.

Navy18

My Feedback: (4)

All I hhave is a 91 left on the shelf... was the performance that much of a negative? 2 kids in college is killing my financial options.

MinnFlyer

My Feedback: (4)

Oh, don't get me wrong, a 91 Surpass will do great. Come to think of it, I had a very old 61 4-stroke on my first US40, so that could be why it was a dog. It was heavy and lacked power.

JNorton

My Feedback: (2)

Boy can I relate to that as I have two girls is college also.

what size spinner do i need for the US 60? mine is almost done

MinnFlyer

My Feedback: (4)

2 1/2"

mrshea

My Feedback: (2)

gonna be a trike with mechanical retracts and thunder tiger .46 for power. Phil

MinnFlyer

My Feedback: (4)

A trike with retracts? You do know that there's no room to fold up a nose gear, right?

mrshea

My Feedback: (2)

i do now perhaps some one can point me in the direction of a build thread? Phil

sirzepp

My Feedback: (1)

Don't have one of it in flight...I'll get one next flying season. It's got an OPS 60 super with a pipe on it...so it's finicky in the cold and I've stored it for the winter.

Two of the best Ultra Sport builds. Enjoy.

MinnFlyer

My Feedback: (4)

Here's one I did on the 60, but they are identical except for size.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_68..._1/key_/tm.htm

I recommend going with retracts in a taildragger configuration, and moving the wheels outboard by one rib bay. I also like to add flaps. Many people will agree that these are two mods worth doing.

Aside from those, avoid any modifications, the plane is SO good as is that you don't want to mess it up!

mrshea

My Feedback: (2)

i probably will do those the gear definitley i want to read up on the flaps first though. Phil

MinnFlyer

My Feedback: (4)

Read this post by my buddy Ken. He came up for a visit a few years ago and flew my US40. Note what he said about the flaps:

I enjoyed the build and loved flying my Goldberg Chipmunk; OS 91 for power... an equal in fun-factor to the Goldberg Extra. I have HIGH hopes that the UltraSport will fly as well... thanks for the pictures of your chippy; very nicely built.
